CONSOLE MIXER SYSTEM AM - 4A

The functional, low·silhouette, design of the AM·4A Console Mixer System equips the operator with a convenient sloping work panel. Its over·all height is 7 inches and the depth is a compact 27 inches. Housings for the AM ·4A Console Mixer System are stocked by Langevin in two widths, achieving maximum flexibility according to the number of modules desired. The AH21/13 Housing will accept 13 modules and is 32 inches wide. The AH21 / 19 Housing will accept 19 modules and is 45 inches wide . It is possible to mechanically join two AH21/l3 Housings together for those installations demanding more than 19 modu les.

Pre·wired circuitry and a solid·state power supply within the AM ·4A Console Mixer System provide the necessary inlerconnections and power requirements for any module combination. Two, three, and four output channel versions are readily available from Langevin stock.

Input and output lines may be permanently connected to solder·lug boards wilhin the console housing; or as an option, Xl·type connectors may be inslalled in holes provided in Ihe rear of the housing.

In the sound field, the professionals demand professional products.

For nearly fifty years Langevin equipment has matched the highest and most exacting stand­ards in broadcast, recording and sound reinforcement.

That is why Langevin products are used by such names as CBS, Voice of America, Muzak and the Armed Forces Radio Service.

The high precision components, amplifiers, switches, power devices and related accesso­ries have given Langevin a h igh-standing reputation that ranks among the leaders.

In 1971 Langevin joined with five of these lead­ers, Gauss, Electrodyne, Optimation , Universal Data Acquisition and Saki Magnetics, to become part of MCA TECHNOLOGY, INC. The joining of these six well-known performers will provide a synergistic research and develop­ment capability resulting in even higher qual­ity and product improvement wherever fine control is imperative .
